We have been busy. We are taking a brake from 3D game development and have been working on a crossword generator project (made in flash & actionscript) that will generate a new Crossword puzzle with every refresh of the page. We have named this new game “Crossword-Fun” and it is still in early beta.
We kindly invite you to test the application and report bugs or just let us know what you think. The application can be found at the following link:
http://www.immersionfx.com/crossword-fun/crossword.html

The idea is of “Crossword-Fun” is simple: based on online Clue Databases (like dictionary.com) an algorithm selects a random set of words and their corresponding definitions and creates a new crossword on the fly. The user that attempts to solve the crossword will use an intuitive way to match words to the given definitions. Upon successful completion of the crossword, the user’s time will be recorded to the Hall of Fame.
This online crossword creator game can be a great tool for students and/or educators. There are two main clue databases already included in the first build, namely “Word definitions” (basically a thesaurus of words) and “Medical Terms” (an ideal option for medicine students or wannabes). We plan to include a lot more in the future, so stay tuned!

A porting of this application on Facebook and addition of multiplayer features are our next plans.
PS. As a side note, 3D game development is far from neglected - on the contrary, it is still our top priority. As a matter of fact, we are in the process of designing our next game which, at least technically, will be a… far cry from our previous titles! Stay tuned!
